Shape the mixture into balls and form the nuggets with your hands. Coat them by dipping in beaten egg and rolling in panko or breadcrumbs.

Place the nuggets on a baking tray with a little oil. Bake at 180ºC (356 F) for approximately 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown. If your oven has a fan option, it will ensure even cooking.
